drain plug to drain all fuel. If heater does not have drain plug, drain fuel
through fuel eap opening. Be sure all fuel is removed.

If any debris is noted in old fuel, add 1 or 2 quarts of clean kerosene to tank,
stir, and drain again. This will prevent excess debris from clogging filters
during future use.
Replace fuel cap or drain plug. Properly dispose of old and dirty fuel. Check
with local automotive service stations that recycle oil.
